Division

Division

Like an incision

Into the fabric

of society

 

Where the rich blame the poor

Black blames white

And different religions

**** and fight

 

White blames yellow

Yellow blames red

My god is better

And he wants you dead

 

The Church stands above us

Fuelling the fight

Ignoring whats wrong

And telling us whats right

 

An eye for an eye

A tooth for a tooth

We will bomb you to oblivion

If you don't accept our truth

 

Oil for dollars

Dollars for debt

Invisible chains

To keep you in check

 

The rich they gather

With their private jets

Whilst the fisherman

Saddened, pulls in empty nets

 

TV and internet

Disinformation

Of the perilous state

Of many a nation

 

Heaven or hell

You don't have a choice

If you were born poor

Then you have no voice
